Alright, so, is Minority Report any good? I mean it's got Maverick in it so I'm figuring it's chances are pretty high. And a quick google search has told me it's got 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I want y'alls opinions.

I've never even heard of it.

Nor had I!

But it's playing tonight and I figure what the hell, right?

Could be fun, I didn't see many muggle films back home. I've been trying to take advantage of it since I've arrived.

Cool.

And, evidently, skipping it. Got to be something else to do. I guess.

I saw The Titanic, The Mummy and Independence Day in the theaters.

I know there's a few more, but I can't remember the names. One was about cartoons and they were playing muggle game with an orange ball, and there was one about cheerleading.

I swear Hogwarts needs a proper muggle studies course. That won't do.

And of course you saw Titanic. There was no escaping that from what I've read.

You're not wrong. Then again, I never took it, though I probably should have.

It seemed like everyone was talking about it at the time.

I don't understand why it isn't compulsory. It should be.

I've seen it a few times. My daughter's Mother was fond of it. I can't say it is a favorite.

They probably thought, unless you're going into a specific career, that we wouldn't have much dealings.

I enjoyed it, but I definitely liked The Mummy more.

Which is nonsense. You can't hide in our community forever. Not understanding how to interact with the majority population is really a determent, if you ask me. But that's neither here nor there.

The Mummy is great. I can make you a list of some other decent titles, if you'd like.

I don't disagree.

Yes, please! I would love that.

Tom Cruise has gone way downhill since he joined a cult.

Right. Will do.

I'm taking it Minority Report is after joining this?

He's been involved for some time, but it wasn't until the last dozen years that he really went over the edge.

Minority Report is about the conundrum of telepathy and precognition to stop crimes before they happen. Is it a crime if it never happened? Could someone be framed or know how to abuse the system? You live in Tumbleweed among many telepaths and precogs so I'm leaving it to you to decide whether you want to stir up that paranoia.

That's putting a lot of pressure on a movie in the park decision.

It's cool, you're not the one who decided to show it. It is a pretty decent movie though.

I'm not going to support it if it's going to upset people so much. But good to know in the event I ever catch it on cable or something.

I thought it was great! This is back before like CRAZY TOM CRUISE became a thing, so I can still enjoy the movie with him in it. And it poses a lot of interesting questions.

Have you ever heard of Philip K Dick? Maybe Blade Runner? They're both based on novels by Philip.

Crazy Tom Cruise correlate with cult joining Tom Cruise?

Oh, yeah. Blade Runner was great. Definitely wasn't supposed to see it, though. Watched it from behind a couch when I was a kid. Used a mirror and everything so they wouldn't realize I was there.

A little, but Scientology + Girlfriend 20 Younger Than Him + Oprah = Jumping on Couches and Being CRAZY TOM CRUISE. So it's a bit of everything.

That's cute.

It's written by the same guy so there's more than just science fiction involved. There's metaphor in there and kind of mirrors a lot of our society, how we presume people are guilty long before they're tried.
